Dozens of insects were trapped underground in the enclosed arena. Every time the floor connecting the elevator platform descended, carrying a dead insect, the remaining insects would swarm over and devour the remains. For them, there were only two things in the world: fellow insects and food. When a fellow insect died, it ceased to be fellow insects and became food. This also saved the staff the trouble of cleaning up the dead insects.
After five minutes, these insects will finish eating and will retreat to the surrounding areas. When there is only one insect left on the elevator, the elevator will immediately carry the insect back to the ground for the students to use to give them courage. Everything is handled automatically and is very convenient.
At this time, Charles pressed the blue button, and the ground began to sink. Auckland, who had not yet been able to get out of the tempered cover, was forced to sink with the insect's body.
"What are you doing?!" Liz Isaacs grabbed Charles' collar and shook him hard. This was completely different from what they had agreed on.
"Ms. Liz, I, I was not careful..." Charles was sweating profusely at this moment, and looked like he was about to faint from anxiety.
"Hurry up and put the people up!" As the lift was descending, it was clear that there were many insects moving underneath. Auckland's classmates were almost scared to death. They rushed over and desperately pressed the blue button, hoping to raise the lift back up.
"It's useless... The elevator has a life detection system... It won't rise until there's only one bug left on it..." Charles covered his face and knelt on the ground, looking hopeless and heartbroken. "It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
These mechanisms, originally set up to protect students, have now become Auckland's death warrant.
However, now is not the time to blame anyone. Some students were still relatively clear-headed. They immediately contacted the campus patrol team and the school hospital, briefly described the situation, and asked them to come and rescue them immediately.
No one noticed that Charles, who was kneeling on the ground as if crying bitterly, quietly pressed the light brain and sent a message - mission accomplished.
However, at this moment, the door of the closed fighting hall was knocked, and several students stumbled over and opened the door.
The people who came were Hall, Chris and several venue staff members. Charles had previously used his light brain to ask for help from the venue staff. Although they rushed over as quickly as possible, they seemed to be too late. They met Hall and Chris halfway.
However, at this time, five minutes had passed since Oakland was lowered to the ground by the elevator. Five minutes were enough time for the insects trapped underground to eat Oakland until nothing was left.
"What the hell is going on?!" Chris rushed towards Charles and pulled him up from the ground. "Where's Auckland?!"
"It's down there..." a student said with a sad face.
Could it be that Chris doesn’t know what this tempered glass cover is for?
He immediately yelled at the staff, "What are you still standing there for?! Hurry up and save them!"
"Yes, yes, yes..." The staff member hurried over with a toolbox and started tinkering with the device on the tempered glass cover with a professional machine.
Hall looked at Charles with a gloomy look, as if he was ready to tear him into pieces. But in reality, he didn't believe Auckland would be in any danger. His young fiancé was a mutant, and those bugs were no match for Auckland. At this moment, he just wanted to understand one thing - what on earth was going on?!
However, without Hall's interrogation, Charles told the whole story. He not only admitted that he had accepted bribes to allow transfer students to join the class, but also admitted that he was instructed by Liz Isaacs to teach Oakland a lesson, and everything that happened afterwards was an accident.
"No, no, no... It's all a misunderstanding... Wuuuu... It's not me... I didn't mean it..." Hall's eyes were as sharp as a knife. Liz was so scared that her face turned pale and she couldn't even speak clearly.
The story seemed quite plausible, but Hall knew it was all a lie. Liz had been spoiled since she was a child, and was a typical big-breasted and brainless girl, so she would never think of such an idea. She probably just wanted Charles to help her vent her anger, and then Charles considerately gave her such a plan, and then put all the blame on Liz, the idiot.
But he always felt that something was wrong. Where did Charles get the courage to openly murder a student? And dare to risk offending the Williams family?
Unless... there is a greater good...
At this time, the door of the tempered glass cover was finally opened by the staff.
Several staff members, fully armed, rushed in and dropped powerful sleep bombs. After the insects had all ceased moving, they descended one by one underground and searched the surroundings. They found no trace of blood. Just as they were wondering how the insects had devoured the person so completely, leaving no trace, they discovered a figure huddled in the far corner of the room. They immediately rushed over and found it was indeed the student who had fallen. They tried to detect his presence and found that he was still alive, without even a scratch on his body!
How could this be possible? As he was thinking about it, he noticed a fragment of a sonar bomb shattered not far from Auckland.
It turned out to be the sonar bomb that hadn't exploded before! The sonar it emitted lasted for about ten minutes, dulling the insects' senses. No wonder this kid had managed to hold on until now; he was truly lucky!
At this time, the campus patrol and emergency team also arrived. The staff below gave a signal for the emergency team to come immediately.
When Auckland was placed on a stretcher and carried out unharmed, Liz finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground, no longer having any strength. Charles, on the other hand, stared at Auckland with his eyes wide open, muttering, "Impossible... How is this possible?"
Just as he was about to send another message using his optical brain, his wrist was grabbed by a patrol member. "Charles Hank, you are suspected of abuse of power and negligent injury. Now please cooperate with our investigation."
After saying that, the team member confiscated his laptop and weapons and detained them in accordance with regulations.
"No, no, no... wait a minute... I need to use the light brain, I have something to say..." Charles suddenly struggled.
"If you have anything to say, save it for the interrogation room!" The patrol escorted him away without saying anything, and Liz Isaac was taken away with him.
Hall and Chris took the emergency team's car and accompanied Oakland to the school hospital. Although Hall knew Oakland was fine, seeing his pale and unconscious face, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. He reached out and held Oakland's hand at his side. However, the next moment, Oakland quietly hooked his little finger on Hall's palm, using this way to tell Hall that he was fine.
The corners of Hall's mouth curled up slightly, but he quickly restrained himself and retracted the fleeting smile, continuing to look extremely worried.
"Boss, what on earth is going on? Is that old guy crazy?"
"It can't be that simple. There must be someone behind him directing him..."
As if to prove Hall's words, before he finished speaking, their optical computers all received the latest push from the Star Network News Station - General Arnold Percy had made a breakthrough in magic pattern research, and the first generation of mecha storage boxes came out.
A breakthrough in magic patterns? A mecha storage box?
Chris clicked on the link and glanced at the image. He discovered the mecha storage box was about the size of a suitcase. It was said to be inscribed with ancient magic patterns that allowed for spatial compression. Such a suitcase could hold a mecha over two meters tall and ten standard-sized energy stones. This made transporting mechas much more convenient, eliminating the need for large spacecraft. This not only reduced transportation costs but also made marches and battles much easier. It was truly a groundbreaking development...
"What a shameless thing! This guy not only stole other people's inheritance, but also researched it as his own. He even had the nerve to publish the results? Isn't he afraid that Oakland will slap him in the face?" After Chris finished speaking, his eyes widened in shock and he suddenly turned to look at Hall.
Hall's face also darkened. It seemed that the person who instructed Charles to murder Auckland was Arnold Percy.
The Campbell family had been embroiled in a heated dispute with Arnold Percy some time ago, even going so far as to file a lawsuit. But then, they went silent, seemingly bribed by Arnold. With Oakland's death, the so-called inheritance would become the Campbell family's. As long as they didn't pursue the matter, the new magic pattern would remain solely in the hands of Arnold Percy.
